As the annual climate change negotiations enter their final days with countries still deeply divided over key issues, Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault called host country Azerbaijan's lack of ambition "deplorable" for the disappointing options on the table.

An analysis of the delegate list conducted by Canada's National Observer shows Big Oil lobbyists from Canada are out in full force to influence the annual UN climate change summit in their favour. After years of derailing negotiations, climate advocates say it's time to bar fossil fuel companies from the meetings for good.

Newly surfaced federal data on Canada's exported emissions reveals a concerning trend. Despite emission reduction efforts at home, Canada's exported emissions from coal, oil and gas are dramatically climbing — and wiping out domestic progress.

International climate change negotiations are kicking off this week in Azerbaijan, with trillions of dollars that will decide the fate of the planet’s warming trajectory set to be negotiated against a global backdrop of worsening extreme weather.

Ottawa announced its historic carbon emissions cap this week, but climate advocates want to see greater detail about how exactly the regulations will work — as they worry about what a change in government would mean for the new system.

Trump may be a climate-denying fossil fuel booster, but the climate science isn’t changing. The crisis is real, it is here, and much work remains to cut global emissions in half by decade’s end — as scientists say is urgently required.

Nature is being pushed to the brink as logging, mining and the relentless burning of fossil fuels destroy ecosystems — but even while acknowledging the problem, countries negotiating at COP16 still failed to agree on how to pay for conservation efforts.

Capping oil and gas pollution is crucial to cut greenhouse gas emissions, while ensuring the industry’s competitiveness through the energy transition, federal ministers said Monday. But Ottawa’s fiercest critics were quick to slam the proposal, setting up fresh rounds of conflict for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s beleaguered government.

The Liberals don't have many winning issues right now, but their new policy for oil and gas emissions (and the reflexive Conservative backlash against it) might just be one. If they're smart, they'll use it to give Pierre Poilievre the carbon tax election he never wanted.

The regulations, still only in draft format and about two years behind schedule, could further strain relations between Ottawa and the Alberta government which recently launched a $7-million advertising campaign to "scrap the cap."

Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is playing politics with people’s future, hours after she announced a plan to legally challenge the carbon price once more.

As international biodiversity talks get underway in Colombia for COP16, political turmoil at home is jeopardizing Canada’s nature protection plans.

Saulnier and other climate survivors delivered a petition calling for more support for wildland firefighters to legislators on Parliament Hill Wednesday.

Liberal MP Sean Casey is the first to publicly confirm that he has signed a letter calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign, arguing it would be in the best interests of the country to let someone else take the reins.

Premier Danielle Smith said Tuesday it's a de facto production cap that will stifle the economy.
